Report: Unit 5 – Al – Andalus

In unit 1 we've studied the origin and develop of  Islam in Middle Ages. One thing we've learnt is how fast this religion spread through Arabia, Middle East, North Africa, Persia and Al-Andalus; which was the name that the Iberian Peninsula received under Muslim control. In this report we are going to focus on Al-Andalus history. An eight centuries' period that began in 711, when the Muslims defeated the Visigoths and occupied the Peninsula; and finished in 1492 with the conquest of Granada by the Reyes Católicos.
